Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

While Wu Xie was having a lively conversation, the atmosphere in the room just a few walls away was completely different.

The lights were off inside. Shen Mingchao sat in an armchair, quietly watching the last rays of the setting sun gradually disappear into the horizon.

The sunset was beautiful today; fiery clouds painted half the sky, and the setting sun scattered golden sparkles, creating a breathtaking landscape before her eyes.

This moment is peaceful and beautiful.

Seeing the natural scenery again after five months, Shen Mingchao felt he should be overjoyed, intoxicated by it, and grateful to still be alive in this world.

But the truth is, the moment she walked in, all the smiles on her face vanished.

She was clearly prepared for everything, and five months was enough time for her to accept reality.

However, once she was truly certain that she had lost contact with her family and even her original world, she found herself still feeling sad, and an inexplicable sorrow welled up inside her.

I have a dull pain in my chest and my eyes are sore.

Shen Mingchao knew very well that she had never accepted the fact that she had transmigrated into the book. Everything she had done before was merely to allow herself to survive in this world temporarily.

Because she knew that even across time and space, her loved ones would still want her to be happy.

This is their family's life motto.

So she temporarily suppressed all her emotions and acted as if nothing had happened, seeking help from Xie Yuchen to solve her livelihood problems.

Once everything had settled down, when I returned to my room to be alone, a wave of suppressed emotions washed over me.

"Let me indulge myself for a little while," she thought.

She needed to vent her emotions; only after venting could she muster the courage to live well in the new world.

Time passed by unnoticed. Shen Mingchao did not remain depressed for long. Perhaps her desire to take a bath outweighed her sadness. She took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, as if she had made a decision, and turned to walk straight into the bathroom.

Shen Mingchao stepped into the bathtub, which had been filled with water beforehand, and reached out to fiddle with the flower petals floating on the surface, enjoying the warm feeling that filled his entire body.

The staff member who brought her to the room not only gave her a room key, but also a full set of toiletries, and the items were very complete, including scrub and face masks.

Given these conditions, it would be foolish not to enjoy them.

After taking a shower, Shen Mingchao felt refreshed.

Tears welled up in my eyes; she had finally evolved from a savage into a modern human.

Xie Yuchen is wealthy and powerful, so the clothes and shoes he has people buy must be of very high quality.

The dress is made of off-white jacquard fabric and features a modern Chinese style. The lower half is similar to a puffy skirt, with a stiff tulle lining that fully supports the skirt.

To match the dress, Shen Mingchao specially used a hairdryer to make his dark brown hair a little fluffy and slightly curved, letting it fall naturally to his waist.

She then put on the matching pearl and diamond necklace and earrings, and then slipped on soft-soled Mary Jane shoes.

Finally, she applied lipstick, put on sunglasses, and everything was done. She couldn't wait to grab her card and head out the door.

She was going to do something she'd been desperately wanting to do inside the bronze door—go grocery shopping!

Never mind! Go, you gluttonous girl!

Shen Mingchao was filled with excitement. She stepped out of the elevator and headed straight for the exit, but she didn't expect that her sunglasses would block her vision. She bumped into someone as soon as she turned the corner.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

She apologized before even seeing the person, and when Shen Mingchao looked up, she realized that she had bumped into someone she knew.

Those phoenix eyes stared at her silently, neither speaking nor moving, seemingly stunned by the impact.

Huh? What's wrong?

She's not heavy, and she braked so quickly, she probably didn't get hurt.

She changed her clothes, so you didn't recognize her?

Hmm... very likely.

Thinking of this, Shen Mingchao took the initiative to speak: "Brother White Snake, it's me, Shen Mingchao. I was in a hurry to get out and didn't see where I was going, so I bumped into you. I'm sorry."

After saying that, she lifted her foot and continued walking towards the door.

The White Snake finally snapped out of his daze and reflexively turned around. "Where are you going?"

Hearing the voice, Shen Mingchao turned around, waved the card in his hand, and honestly said, "I'm going to the supermarket to buy snacks."

Seeing that Shen Mingchao had actually stopped, the white snake suddenly became reserved again, stammering for a long time before finally managing to utter, "Then could you take me with you?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Shen Mingchao's head.

If you want to go, then go. Why worry about bringing anyone?

Shen Mingchao couldn't help but think more deeply. Was this a coincidence, or another form of surveillance?

As expected of The Lost Tomb?

I'm practically riddled with scheming and plotting. I have to think three steps ahead for every one I take; my brain is about to explode.

Shen Mingchao sighed inwardly.

Garlic bird, snacks are still more important.

Regardless of whether the White Snake's motives were pure or not, Shen Mingchao naturally curled the corners of his mouth: "Then let's go together."

Once inside the supermarket, Shen Mingchao, like a wild horse without bridles, began sweeping through the shelves.

After Shen Mingchao finished his shopping spree, he turned around and realized that Bai She had walked the whole way, but in the end only bought a pack of cigarettes.

When the cashier was about to collect the payment, Shen Mingchao was about to swipe his card when Bai She suddenly reached out and blocked her, coolly saying, "I'll pay."

Shen Mingchao tried several times but found that he could not overcome the mountain called "White Snake", so he gave up.

Ok.

Just give my buddy a chance to show off his masculine charm.

After paying, the other party naturally and quickly picked up the shopping bag.

Shen Mingchao was a step too slow and missed out, so he could only smile awkwardly and follow behind the white snake.

Man, your charm is a bit too much!

She also really wanted to remind the cashier.

Can you please stop laughing so excitedly and lewdly? It's exactly the same way she does when she's shipping couples and enjoying their sweet moments. It always reminds her of Lee Kwang-soo's office romance meme.

The problem is, lady, you've chosen the wrong couple! This pairing leads straight to the grave, it's too morbid!
